Jordan Marsh & Company was a department store in Boston, Massachusetts, which grew to be a major regional chain in the New England area of the United States. In 1996, the last of the Jordan Marsh stores were converted to Macy's. The store was formerly part of Allied Stores and then Federated Department Stores. Allied also operated a separate group of stores in Florida called Jordan Marsh Florida, which were disbanded in 1991.HistoryBeginningsIn 1841, Eben Dyer Jordan left his job at a Boston dry goods store and went into business for himself laying the foundation for the first Jordan Marsh. Ten years later, Jordan partnered with Boston merchant Benjamin L. Marsh. They began by selling linen, silk, and other dry goods from Europe to wholesale customers in and around the city. As the business grew, it moved from one location to another and in 1861 Jordan and Marsh decided to begin selling directly to the public. They acquired a brownstone building at 450 Washington Street, in the heart of what is still Boston's downtown shopping district. After the American Civil War, Jordan and Marsh expanded into nearby buildings, offering an increasing quantity and variety of goods. Eventually the partners had established the nation’s first "departmentalized" store and called it Jordan Marsh and Company. During the second half of the 19th century, Eben Jordan's son, Jordan Jr., and a new partner named George Mitton took over the company, turning it into a modern department store.

The RetroLampFAQ: Q1: Who the hell is this RetroLampGuy? A: The RLG started as a collector of all things mid-century, funky and modernist. He loves that stuff so much that the RetroLampCondo was full of it and when the guest bathroom's shower ended up being used as storage the RetroLampGirl finally had enough and made him turn pro. He started selling on Craigslist, moved into a booth at the Cambridge Antique Market and rented a 300sqft storage unit (which is now almost full, more on that below!). That's just the beginning however! ---- Q2: Why does he talk in the 3rd person? Is he an ego maniac like some pro athlete? A: No. ---- Q3: Where can I buy his awesome stuff: A: Lots of ways! - Click the link to the Etsy shop - Search for “retrolampguy” on Boston Craigslist. If you just click “more ads by this user” it won’t show you everything! - Shop the Cambridge Antique Market 2nd floor. Dealer 196 (You will know it’s me I promise!) Cambridge Antique Market 201 Monsignor O’Brien Hwy Cambridge MA 02141 --- Q4: Do you buy stuff? A: Yes! Just send an email with pictures, your location and price. It’s the 1st thing he’s going to ask for when he replies anyway! --- Q5: Are you as funny in real life as you are in your ads? A: He’d like to think so but the RetroLampGirl would disagree. --- Q6: What’s the deal with the storage unit? Is it creepy to visit? A: Not at all! The storage facility is clean, safe and open until 9 PM every day. There is free parking and a lobby where he can show off his stuff so it's much easier to meet there to see an item that's not currently at the Market. --- Q7: Do you repair lamps? A: Yes! Send an email with your problem! ---- Q8: Are you single, I have this friend… A: WOAH! WOAH! WOAH! Fortunately, through some black magic and chicanery the RLG somehow managed to convince the aforementioned fabulous RetroLampGirl to marry him and he is happily off the market…
